It is surprisingly a lot of work. Our poor kitters have to try to evenly distribute things, weight things, get them to fit in the box, etc. One day when they aren&rsquo;t busying building SIK we&rsquo;ll try to bribe them to tackle some more of these. I recommend setting up autonotify for stock. Once stock appears (but before you can order it) keep checking the site, we&rsquo;ll probably announce when they are going live soon after that. Once live though they sell out in under 5 minutes.</p>Customer #485931 on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.Customer #485931urn:uuid:a5b259fe-3072-bfd2-4e5f-7cc2085b5d332015-08-22T04:47:18-06:00<p>Will this be happening again?

<p> &ldquo;Quantities are not reserved until the order has been submitted. You will be reminded of backorder quantities at submit time. Available quantities may have changed due to real time inventory.&rdquo;</p>
<p>I&rsquo;ve missed chances to get a dumpster dive and I&rsquo;ve also managed to get the dumpster dive. IMHO I say leave the system as is since we aren&rsquo;t talking about a contest, but merely a product that has occasional inventory. If somebody as big as Digikey isn&rsquo;t holding parts until you hit pay, why should Sparkfun? I prefill my cart if I&rsquo;m hoping to get a DD and have my payment info ready to go. People just need to learn the ropes and if you fall off the rope, don&rsquo;t blame the rope, just climb back on for the next chance.</p>Customer #428293 on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.Customer #428293urn:uuid:40c1e50f-8d7f-6c77-979c-9b93cb7746742014-11-10T22:39:09-07:00<p>Hey guys you should make this some sort of subscription service like, arcade block https://www.nerdblock.com/arcade, 1up box https://1upbox.com/, or loot crate https://www.lootcrate.com.

Those of us who managed to get a Dumpster Dive probably got parts we&rsquo;ll use and parts we&rsquo;ll never use. What do you think of setting up a parts swap option with other electronics enthusiasts? Something where I post a list of things I got that are available for trade and maybe a list of what I&rsquo;d like more of. Sound good?</p>OCybress on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.OCybressurn:uuid:a306f23c-e25b-120d-133d-8d1a443f18eb2014-11-07T03:21:32-07:00<p>Got mine in the mail today, video is currently uploading. I am stumped on a component that i received though I got about probably 200 of them they are a SOT26 device the the markings CAA and I can&rsquo;t seem to find any info on them. One site suggests they are a temp sensor another says the are a step-up converter. So im a bit lost here. Any hints sparkfun?</p>
<p>The video will be up in a bit, got some pretty cool stuff.</p>prowin on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.prowinurn:uuid:0912f1d8-a55a-9f28-f96b-b665d31d738e2014-11-06T14:57:57-07:00<p>The Christmas tree was probably a victim from a class, all of the components are soldered on the wrong side of the board with the wrong polarity.

<p>A whole lot of TINY SMC parts on reel strips, looks like a bunch of LEDs, some resisters, transisters, maybe some capacitors.</p>
<p>Green Arduino Mega Case</p>
<p>Broken Clear RasPi case (looks like it was stepped on)</p>
<p>IOIO OTG (haven&rsquo;t tested it yet)</p>
<p>An LED Christmas Tree with a resister inserted but not soldered</p>
<p>BMA180 Breakout</p>
<p>7 segment shield</p>
<p>Pro Micro with &ldquo;KG&rdquo; written on the back in sharpie</p>
<p>MAX7456 Breakout</p>
<p>Blackberry ball breakout</p>
<p>A single Pololu wheel</p>
<p>an opened bag of LM317AT adjustable regulators</p>
<p>1 USB Cable</p>
<p>various QFP chips including Atmel, PIC, chips</p>
<p>Pololu md07a board</p>
<p>AD9835 Breakout</p>

I got another of the ubiquitous blower motors like you did :-), but the big prize for me was an LCD-09568 (serial LCD) which seems brandy new except that a header has been soldered on already. $30 of goodness for $10 right there &ndash; and it&rsquo;s something I actually did have a use for already!</p>
<p>Other interesting and useful things too like a DIP-8 amplifier IC and a Lilypad battery board. I will never buy male breakaway headers again! (31 x 12-pin headers included) Which is good, because I use those like candy anyway.</p>
<p>Also: nice SparkFun pocket protector. :-)</p>Garfieldboy on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.Garfieldboyurn:uuid:eac6fe5c-5c62-941b-9ca9-58266b8e02292014-11-06T11:19:41-07:00<p>Wohoo, got mine last night. Unfortunately in my eagerness I connected the power supply for the GPS module the wrong way around :( A real shame there wasn&rsquo;t a canister of blue smoke included so I could re-fill the GPS module :(</p>
<p>Loved the anticipation and what was included. Probably won&rsquo;t use much, but well worth the money in entertainment value alone.</p>Pokey on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.Pokeyurn:uuid:c9920564-cbae-c912-335e-0d0736737bc12014-11-05T12:06:23-07:00<p>The JPEG trigger board with the microSD slot seems to work, or at least blinks the LED different colors when I apply power. The gnarlier one&rsquo;s FTDI works, but I haven&rsquo;t powered the micro yet. It looks like the DTR reset cap is missing along with a couple other discretes so not sure how much I care to debug it. I don&rsquo;t have the matching camera so it&rsquo;s just a spare Arduino for&hellip; things.</p>OCybress on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.OCybressurn:uuid:a2a26c4b-53c2-8ae8-3d7b-02f3fef491f72014-11-04T23:52:33-07:00<p>Looks nice, not to hot on the jpeg trigger boards i got one of those as a ding and dent, can still be used as a micro controller if it works. I will be getting mine on Thursday, might do a video of the contents. I&rsquo;ll post a link if i do.

<p>Sparkfun writes their own code for all of their web site, e-commerce included. It is a non-trivial thing to have such a limited supply, a time window for purchase (add-to-cart to payment-received) and a huge number of buyers.</p>
<p>They have a few more options for this, one would be a lottery system that would provide a &ldquo;ticket #&rdquo; or &ldquo;Coupon&rdquo; kind of like the wrist-bands for concert tickets. Or, they could turn this into an auction/bid system with a window for bidding.</p>serendipity409 on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.serendipity409urn:uuid:d1fad1b5-bd45-d793-3d29-2a2a3a01721f2014-03-03T13:30:48-07:00<p>This product went live last Friday and sold out in about 3 minutes.

Your sidenote is only part of the problem - the bigger issue is I have stuff added to my cart to just check price totals all the time. If you were to do any sort of &ldquo;hold&rdquo; it would be after you enter in shipping, billing, and are about to confirm the purchase.</p>
<p>Is the fast internet speed process fair? no. Is there an easy way to fix it without invoking a giant mess? not that I can think of thus far.</p>
<p>Another way SF <em>could</em> do this. But it invokes different legal issues, is you purchase the product in advance, and depending on stock available, random orders are fulfilled. But there are strong legal problems with this - is it a lottery, sweepstakes etc.</p>KirAsh4 on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.KirAsh4urn:uuid:5a083476-8194-0d36-3c88-333b70d7f6c82014-03-02T01:19:14-07:00<p>Here&rsquo;s the contents of my Feb. 28th, 2014 Dumpster Dive box with pictures:

<p>12:15PM MST - I&rsquo;m seeing no payments made to Sparkfun, no evidence of an order being placed.</p>
<p>Sparkfun: I love that you guys do this, but given the supply and demand, you&rsquo;re setting up the majority of those interested for disappointment. My logical brain can accept that my timing wasn&rsquo;t right. My lizard brain wants to avoid Sparkfun because Sparkfun == disappointment.</p>
<p>Maybe there&rsquo;s a better system? Let people opt in to &ldquo;Randomly include a 1.5lbs mystery box of parts when I order from Sparkfun&rdquo;, and surprise us? I&rsquo;m not sure what the system should be, but I am sure about this: the current one really took the wind out of my sails today.</p>Clark Snowdall on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.Clark Snowdallurn:uuid:b0e52024-c4bd-871e-5386-d5251ad0c71f2014-02-28T12:21:36-07:00<p>Hmmmmm &hellip; seems placing it in your cart does NOT mean you&rsquo;ll get it.

<p>In this context, I <em>am</em> the complaint department.</p>echoskope on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.echoskopeurn:uuid:ed3f471e-0433-20ea-cfd8-678dff9d24d02013-09-10T16:34:03-06:00<p>My 2 cents:
+ All carts can hold stock but only for 14 days (enough time to wait for that biweekly paycheck)</p>
<ul>
<li>IF you are registered, you have the option to save your cart, which will then be emptied after 30 Days unless it is saved again. If you save it again then it gets cut down to 15 days. After 45 days your cart gets emptied. This means after 45 days either you have to purchase what is in your cart or your cart is emptied (hopefully this would only happen with someone who has forgotten they had something in their cart).</li>
</ul>
<p>+IF you are registered and your cart is about to expire, you can opt in for a reminder email that you still have products in your cart and if you don&rsquo;t act within a week the cart will be emptied.</p>
<p>+IF you are unregistered or registered and you have something held in your cart that goes into low stock / about to get retired / about to get revised you can opt in for an email (for registered members only) letting you know that the product stock is low and will be removed from your cart within 24 hours and placed back into the pool for someone else to grab. This solves the problem of hot items that have low stock. I log in, put it in my cart, and it is guaranteed to me for 24 hours, and if I don&rsquo;t purchase within 24 hours then it gets returned back to the pool for someone else to grab (then they would have 24 hours to checkout). For things like the dumpster dive there would have to be another system in place that limits how many of the product can be added to the cart, in this case only 1. If the user tries to add more it won&rsquo;t allow it.</p>
<p>sidenote: This COULD be abused by someone going around and adding all available quantity of any given product to their cart causing the product to be removed from anyone&rsquo;s cart who is holding it after 24 hours. Not sure how to work around that problem; would have to look into how many other items where in the cart that caused the inventory system to drop the product into low inventory status.</p>
<p>This would take care of people who had problems with PayPal or the server having issues during the checkout.</p>
<p>Again, just my 2 cents. If you think it is a stupid idea, please see the complaint department. :)</p>Toni_K on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.Toni_Kurn:uuid:d21432e5-6aac-f72a-76ee-7469c9ee8c3c2013-09-04T09:27:46-06:00<p>I believe there was a limit of one per customer when we initially ran this.

I just ran a couple of quick-and-dirty queries that might illustrate why.</p>
<ul>
<li>Current physical stock of products: 1,168,910 units (some percentage of these reserved to existing orders).</li>
<li>Current sum of products in carts for registered users: 1,107,560 units (plenty of these probably retired or replaced).</li>
</ul>
<p>This is very back-of-the-envelope stuff, and I wouldn&rsquo;t draw too many conclusions from it. It&rsquo;s been a long day and I don&rsquo;t have the ambition right now to make sure those numbers are reliable. But they should point at the following questions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Should all carts hold stock, or just those for registered users? (There could easily be another half a million units stashed in the more-volatile storage we use for sessions that aren&rsquo;t associated to accounts.)</li>
<li>How long should stock be held? Minutes? Hours? Days? Weeks? Forever?</li>
<li>If you have a concrete answer to &ldquo;how long&rdquo; that won&rsquo;t put us out of business, how do you implement expiry of the hold? Do users need to be informed when the hold is up?</li>
<li>How does the hold interact with the stock values we show everyone else?</li>
<li>What happens when we want to retire or revise something with holds still in place?</li>
</ul>
<p>&hellip;and so on. All possible, but TANSTAAFL.</p>dp2 on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.dp2urn:uuid:86086b46-23d6-f0aa-0c9e-e190525286c52013-08-29T17:28:51-06:00<p>Things are worth what people are willing to pay for them. Did you include those Olimex programmers because they fall in the category of &ldquo;couldn&rsquo;t sell them on the site to begin with?&rdquo; Then obviously SparkFun placed a value of $0 on them or they wouldn&rsquo;t have ended up in the e-waste pile to begin with so are they worth more than $10? Obviously not to SparkFun. But they should be worth >$10 to me???</p>
<p>As for the chargers, you say &ldquo;many of them worked just fine&hellip;&rdquo; Are you saying you knowingly put some in that don&rsquo;t work? (Like BOTH of my LCD screens and the Olimex board that is worthless to <em>anyone</em> without its screen.) And if so, you are ok with that because of the &ldquo;fine print?&rdquo;</p>
<p>I did NOT have high expectations going into this but do I feel like I got screwed and my complaints about that are getting glossed over because all you (and Customer Service) seem to want to do is hide behind the &ldquo;fine print?&rdquo; Absolutely. Lesson learned about how SFE &ldquo;takes care&rdquo; of its customers.</p>
<p>Your &ldquo;fine print&rdquo; is full of the &ldquo;randomness&rdquo; of the contents but when someone&rsquo;s random box is full (if you call eight items full) of worthless junk you are not willing to admit to the fact that this &ldquo;randomness&rdquo; could actually cause that outcome&hellip;</p>RobertC. on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.RobertC.urn:uuid:8443a291-6479-f953-ae49-83bda4ae49892013-08-29T13:59:14-06:00<p>I thought we were pretty clear about this product. As stated in the video and the description, this was stuff that would have normally ended up in the dumpster, hence the name &ldquo;dumpster dive&rdquo; and the accompanying video. I&rsquo;m sorry you felt like you would get something else, but we cannot predict how each person will interpret &lsquo;value&rsquo;. The Olimex programmers are worth well over $10, regardless if you have a use for them or not.</p>
<p>That being said, the character displays can sometimes be easily fixed by just re-seating the screen (it uses a zebra connector and it gets mis-aligned sometimes). Also, the battery charger might just be cosmetic damage. There were several that went into the dive many of them worked just fine, but has cosmetic issues from shipping. Yes, they are &lsquo;knock-off&rsquo;, but they are good chargers.</p>JakeR on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.JakeRurn:uuid:f99a7c91-7a23-b041-aa3f-2a186e7cec0b2013-08-29T09:42:27-06:00<p>My haul seems to be fairly average here. 4 Olimex dev boards, a Olimex pic programmer, an IPhone screen, and a yellow RaspPi case. Intriguingly, none of the Olimex boards are pics, so the programmer is not exactly useful, but having a full pic programmer can be a good thing.</p>
<p>At first glance everything seems to work. The dev boards look useful, but only time will tell if I have a use for them or have the time to learn how to use them or a way to program them. The lack of documentation and community support for these boards is quite evident and is likely why they are not all being sold here, so it is going to take some time to get into using them. They may also get donated to the dev board closet at my college for some honors student to work with as a project.</p>
<p>All in all it certainly gave me something to learn and yet another thing to dump my time into. The total retail value of everything would be in the hundreds of dollars, so it definitely was a good deal in that regard, and at 1.53 pounds Sparkfun met their commitments 102%.</p>
<p>Oh wait I almost forgot I got a little fabric butterfly with three blue sewable LED modules sewed on. The stitching is kind of messy, but it is slightly cute in a strange way. I didn&rsquo;t know what kind of battery to hook up to the terminals, so I just used my current limiting supply to light it up. I&rsquo;ll take a picture and reply with a link here before I salvage the LEDs.</p>schizo208 on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.schizo208urn:uuid:059a3a7d-76ed-5d73-2e02-779f58e9f4d02013-08-29T00:42:46-06:00<p>Got my dumpster dive earlier today:</p>
<p>Beagleboard xM, Olimex LPC-E2468, (3) 16x2 serial character displays, ATmega128RFA1 dev board, Arduino Cellular Shield, USB Weather v2 board, IOIO, EM-406A GPS, 4D OLED display, Olimex LPC-H2103, Olimex PIC-MT-USB, (2) Illuminated rocker switches, (10) 10k potentiometers, and a partly assembled i-Racer.</p>

Assorted 30A rocker switches
Baggie of big variable resistors w/ nuts for mounting
3 Olimex dev boards (LPC-H2103, LPC2106-MT, and LPC-P212X)
Early/prototype SparkFun LED Matrix w/ backpack
XBee Pro S1
Older model Arduino Uno
i-Racer (w/ charging cable, stickers, and instruction disk)</p>
<p>I haven&rsquo;t tested everything, but the Uno seems to work just fine and the i-Racer works great (it does have the charging issue people report in the comments on the i-Racer SparkFun page, but &ldquo;jumping&rdquo; the battery fixes it right up).</p>
<p>Overall, I couldn&rsquo;t be happier with this grab bag of goodies. Thanks SparkFun!</p>dp2 on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.dp2urn:uuid:b3a03a44-0ae3-2cce-e251-5460682a131b2013-08-28T17:29:00-06:00<p>My Dumpster Dive is pretty much, well, going into my dumpster sorry to say.</p>
<p>Came with two Olimex boards, which jazzed me pretty good at first because one of them is the LCD-screen it-runs-Linux versions but there is no LCD screen so it&rsquo;s pretty much worthless unless I can source a replacement LCD cheap.</p>
<p>Came with two Olimex USB programmers but neither one connects to anything on either of the Olimex boards.</p>
<p>Came with two serial 16x2 LCD screens&hellip; very cool until I find out someone reprogrammed the PIC controllers on both (with the same thing no less) so I can&rsquo;t program them, one of them has no working backlight and they both have several horizontal lines that are not working. They look very used and were obviously returned because of the non-working lines.</p>
<p>Came with a iMax B6 battery charger which seemed good on the surface&hellip; appears to be a counterfeit from what I&rsquo;ve read about it online and not a very good one at that. Both side panels removed, lettering and LCD display smeared, obviously very used and returned.</p>
<p>And it came with one item I may acutally use&hellip; the Poulou aluminum hubs everyone else seemed to get.</p>
<p>IMHO, I completely wasted $22 that could have gone to something that I could have used for something actually useful.</p>
<p>EDIT: now I actually feel like I actually got ripped-off when I see that the only thing in the box that is actually useable I could have purchased for $7.49 + about $2.00 shipping. So, basically I paid $22 for the privilege of throwing away their garbage for them.</p>Lefty4000 on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.Lefty4000urn:uuid:78ee10cb-6266-4d11-0a7f-e41a516dadd92013-08-28T16:47:54-06:00<p>Awesome!</p>Toni_K on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.Toni_Kurn:uuid:2ec432a1-7807-be40-727c-62a458c6d9e12013-08-28T14:41:40-06:00<p>Sounds like a good collection of stuff!

Inside were Olimex LPC-H2103, LPC-H2214, LPC-H2294 ARM7 dev boards (runs $30 for the 21, $90 each on the 22s), and a PIC-MT-USB PIC dev board with a 16x2 LCD ($30). Some kind of Parallax BASIC Stamp starter kit, the devboard is whatever but it comes with a nice little baggy full of LEDs, resistors, caps, trimpots, a 7-seg LED and a cute little servo (runs about $50?). Rounding it out are two lit rockers, couple of pretty beat up looking orange lamps, a pile of universal mounting hubs, and half of the parts for a Quadbot kit but not the half you&rsquo;d want.</p>
<p>Lots of micros but thankfully that&rsquo;s the kind of thing I like to play with! Definitely got my $22 worth, thanks Sparkfun! I&rsquo;ll be there the next time you guys fill up your dumpster.</p>dl_evans on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.dl_evansurn:uuid:da15b308-0c69-a765-0eac-db0bffb8715f2013-08-27T23:14:23-06:00<p>For sure I will.

They didn&rsquo;t have to do this at all and it&rsquo;s the &ldquo;sour grapes&rdquo; that act as a deterrent for things like this in the future.

<p>The contents were:</p>
<p>3x Olimex SAM7-P256 but one may not be working properly</p>
<p>1x Olimex LPC2478-STK</p>
<p>1x iPhone display</p>
<p>2x Backlit switches</p>
<p>1x Bus Pirate</p>
<p>1x Olimex PIC-ICD2-POCKET</p>
<p>I was hoping to score an Arduino of some sort but hey, maybe I&rsquo;ll look in to learning on one of these other Olimex boards, especially the LPC2478-STK since it can run Linux and has an LCD onboard.</p>
<p>Thanks SparkFun! It was fun seeing what was inside.</p>Customer #436136 on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.Customer #436136urn:uuid:21b8ec3f-1950-86a6-d2bd-c63e004b9b9c2013-08-26T15:16:38-06:00<p>I do not disagree in the least and am looking forward to the next time this Dumpster Dive is available.

Just wanted to report back on the ACTUAL CONTENTS of my received order. First, yes, this is a gamble. Much of the box was jammed full of these retired chip programmers, https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/8558. Sadly, I don&rsquo;t have much use for them. Other oddities included a front face of an iPhone4, a few resistors (can always use those), some random ICs, and a few lighted switches (can certainly use these). The highlight is probably a &ldquo;partially complete&rdquo; Mr. Roboto kit. All in all, I&rsquo;m a little disappointed in not getting a Pi or Arduino, or even more common, usable parts, but it&rsquo;s a fair deal I guess. I would try again, just with more modest expectations.</p>gperco on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.gpercourn:uuid:8860b816-949c-503c-a2a3-5ccd0cf109192013-08-26T12:27:23-06:00<p>Just got mine, pretty cool! Bunch of olimex dev boards and usb programmers, some PIC microcontrollers, an iphone lcd screen, a bunch of bulky switches, and weirdly enough, the exact pololu mounting hubs I was going to order from them this week.

I&rsquo;ve missed out on all the other SparkFun giveaways to date.</p>
<p>Problem is, I&rsquo;m upset with a growing internet commerce trend. Those with ultra fast connections or turbo F5 keys and no life, get the prizes, and those of us on wireless connections in the working world get to watch.</p>
<p>Yes, I&rsquo;m unhappy I missed the goodies. Yes, I understand that it could be a worthless pile of junk, and to my current projects it probably would be even if everything worked too. I&rsquo;m trying to expose the problem of the system not the prize.</p>
<p>If you feel that is being unreasonable, that&rsquo;s unfortunate. SparkFun is a good DIY supply company, they listen to their customers, and I was hoping they would listen to me and not just dismiss me for &lsquo;sour grapes&rsquo; as you did.</p>snailington on DD-12012 - The Dumpster Dive - 1.5 lb.snailingtonurn:uuid:0e7d85fc-e8fc-5cf8-6d9e-a25ef98943a42013-08-23T13:16:00-06:00<p>You&rsquo;re taking this thing kind of seriously man.
